TL;DR: 2b-RAD, a streamlined restriction site–associated DNA (RAD) genotyping method based on sequencing the uniform fragments produced by type IIB restriction endonucleases, is described.

TL;DR: The methods described here for deep sequencing of the transcriptome should be widely applicable to generate catalogs of genes and genetic markers in emerging model organisms to facilitate genomics studies in corals and other non-model systems.

TL;DR: An up–to–10-fold increase in odds of survival of coral larvae under heat stress when their parents come from a warmer lower-latitude location is shown.

TL;DR: A novel RNA‐Seq protocol was applied to study molecular responses to heat and settlement inducers in aposymbiotic larvae of the reef‐building coral Acropora millepora to reveal extensive variation in these responses depending on genetic background, including qualitative differences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that Corals from thermally different reef habitats exhibit distinct physiological responses when exposed to 6 weeks of chronic temperature stress in a common garden experiment, and they describe expression profiles obtained from the same corals for a panel of 9 previously reported and 10 novel stress response genes identified in a pilot RNA-Seq experiment.
